Snake would kick his ass because it is obvious that Sam Fisher cannot even wipe his own ass without being told exactly when and how to do it by the jackass at the other end his comlink. Splinter Cell has to be one of the lamest plot nazi bullshit games I have ever seen. It may look good but the gam...

My opinion (which is about as lay as you can get) is that a Singularity would be able to provide more power then a M/A-M reactor. Then, why would the Scimitar use three warp cores instead of QS reactors? Maybe a Warp core provides something that a QS cannot provide in regards to their anti-planet s...

I always figured the ship was mostly empty on purpose. If things really went bad the colony families might need to be evacuated quickly. You cannot do this if the ship you are on is already packed to the gills with crew and marines. So they decided to send a much larger ship than was needed for a si...

But Smith assimilated an Agent.... That's not really relevant- all he did was thrust his hand at him- it wasn't exactly a fight. The Agent simply wasn't expecting it. All Smith did was poke his hand at him. Maybe the agent did not see being poked as a threat. Also I always thought that a good porti...

I disagree, the defaint is a good addition to any fleet, but while its fire power is impressive its shields do let it down. and in most battles would run out of torps very quick. while I agree a defiant can outgun a pre-war warbird, I do believe the warbird would have been upgraded much like the de...

There is also the Ebin Scimitar. I do not know any specifics about it but it was mentioned as being the ancient equivalent to the Death Star.

Xim's era still wins.

The Invincible design mounts turbolasers strong enough to cream ST ships.

Hyperdrive exists and is still better than warp.

Look at all those wodnerful wardroids. How long will ST troops last against those?

The simplest explantion for the "location" of fluidic space would be that it is some manner of deep subspace domain that maps to a certain area of normal space, or a tertiary subspace manifold with the same realspace correspndence. Admittedly, that's still meaningless technobabble, but it...

I don't see this as too much of a problem. Lets look at the ships involved. First you have two Defiant Class ships. They have very heavy firepower and shields relative to their size. While their total output doesnt equal a war mod Galaxy their small size makes them more survivable. I can easily see ...

Very intriguing. Although, it is possible that Neo did not infact have anything to do with stopping the machines. Remember the other ship wasn't too far behind, they could have just EMP'ed the area, making it (coincidently) look like Neo affected the sentinels, when in fact he didn't. Then why does...

1. I think the real world truly does exist. If it was another layer of the matrix then at least one scene (the machines digging) did not really exist. Why have a scene in the movie that litterally did not truly happen since there was not a single human being there to see it. 2. Don't assume too much...

The scenario is flawed. The T-1000 has no incentive to attack a foe in such an ungraceful manner. Knowing the capabilities of the T-1000 it would lure it's opponent down an alley, then meld with the floor. Once the machine walks over the T-1000 it's 'touch' would give the T-1000 all the information...

Higher midichlorian number means bigger sensibility for the Force, on the other hand you still have to learn how to use it properly. Anakin didn't learn enough.

Like I said before the easiest solution is that fluidic space is merely a very dense nebula which blocked Voyagers sensors so that she could not detect objects outside the nebula.

Personally, I like the idea of Fluidic Space being some artificially-created pocket universe, that some Superpowerful being made to play around with, and that 8472 is just one of this Superbeing's creations. Let's face it... something like Fluidic Space - assuming roughly equal physics (or hell, ju...

If I recall, the crew of the Enterprise D had a time limit to wipe out this wave before it got too powerful or something? Not sure, I'll have to watch the episode again, I'm sure I have it on DVD.

I fully understand how the weapon cannot work. It gains energy from nowhere and then that same energy then disapears back to nowhere. The only explanation a Trekkie would give would be to say that the "wave" was a moving bubble of subspace, the longer it traveled the more subspace leaked i...

Ultimate Federation Weapon - Of course they never used it.

It is amazing the number of decent heavy weapons the Federation has available that it never uses. One that immedialtly comes to mind was the program they developed to allow ships without warp engines to travel at warp speed. This odd device based on a planet or stationary spacebase generated the war...
